XChat 2.8.5e For Windows Released

XChat.org has announced they released version 2.8.5e for Windows 2000 or better. Support for Windows 98 and Windows ME has been dropped.

  • You can now optionally install OpenSSL libraries, if you prefer to use them instead of Window's own SChannel library.
  • Fixed a crash if you changed the channel-switcher to Hidden and then back to Top/Bottom.
  • Fixed a crash if you left the font-dialog open after closing the setup window.
  • Dropped support for Windows 98/ME. XChat now requires at least Windows 2000. This allowed some code simplification, and makes future development easier.
  • Added a simple "Check for updates" in the Help menu.

Note: X-Chat is open source and is licensed under the GPL and you can find several non-offical builds that are free.
